UMHS Partnerships & Affiliations

Through linkages with other health care & nonprofit institutions, we share our expertise and learn from others to foster better care, research & education in Michigan & beyond.

MidMichigan Health: In June 2013, we signed an affiliation agreement with this four-hospital system serving 14 counties of the middle Lower Peninsula. The affiliation will ease access to U-M specialty care for MidMichigan Health patients, and gives us a small minority equity interest and two seats on the board of directors. Learn more here.

The new co-brand mark for MidMichigan Health, incorporating the University of Michigan brand.

Trinity Health - Michigan: Under our master affiliation agreement signed in 2012, we have launched, expanded or maintained a number of joint initiatives, including:

More than 700 of our faculty physicians, plus residents, care for veterans in VA hospitals & clinics, and study issues related to veterans’ health. The VA leases space at our North Campus Research Complex so that research teams can work closely together as part of the Institute for Healthcare Policy & Innovation.

Pennant Health Alliance:7 hospitals in west Michigan, including Trinity locations, have joined us to improve clinical, financial, IT & purchasing performance while staying independent.

Physician Organization of Michigan (POM) & POM ACO:

Our partnership with a large physician group led to the launch of POM ACO, an accountable care organization under the Medicare Shared Savings Program that has been joined by 5,700 physicians and other providers in 12 physician groups and 22 Michigan counties -- including our own physicians and other providers. POM ACO is now working to improve the care of 120,000 Medicare beneficiaries across the state.
